Last fall, Philippe parrotthe manager of a pharmacy in the north of the city ​​has been the victim of a black series: burned garbage cans, broken windows, and even the assault of one of his medicine delivery men.

The manager has installed two surveillance cameras near his pharmacy. The solution to protect himself, he therefore found it himself.

In the heart of the priority district of Peruattwo neighbors of an HLM city also express their insecurity, and are considering an “extreme” vote. In the Saint-Michel district of Bordeaux (Gironde)where unaccompanied minors have settled, a shopkeeper deplores the candidates’ lack of connection to reality.
